Your passport is one of the most important documents in the GAMCA/WAFID medical appointment process. The appointment is connected to the personal and passport information entered during registration, so an incorrect passport number, name or date can create problems later.
Before booking your WAFID medical appointment, take a few minutes to check your passport carefully.
Keep your passport in front of you while completing the WAFID appointment form.
Do not depend on memory when entering:
- Passport number
- First name
- Last name
- Date of birth
- Nationality
- Passport issue date
- Passport expiry date
- Passport issue place
The current WAFID booking form specifically asks applicants for several of these passport details.
Entering information exactly as it appears on the passport reduces the possibility of a mismatch.
Your passport number is one of the key identifiers used in the WAFID process.
A typing mistake can cause problems when you later try to find your appointment or medical result.
For this reason, compare the passport number character by character before submitting the form.
Pay particular attention to letters and numbers that can look similar.
Names can create confusion because passports may contain several fields.
Enter your name according to the fields provided in the WAFID form and follow the information shown on your passport.
Do not casually change the spelling to match a nickname, employment document or another identity document.
If your passport and another document contain different spellings, resolve the issue before completing the booking whenever possible.
The WAFID appointment form asks for the passport expiry date.
Applicants should therefore check that their passport is valid and that the expiry information entered into the booking form is correct.
Do not assume that a passport with a short remaining validity will automatically be accepted for every visa or medical situation.
Medical requirements and visa requirements can be different. Your destination country's immigration rules may impose additional passport-validity requirements.
If your passport is close to expiry, check with the relevant visa authority, employer or sponsor before making the booking.
If you recently received a new passport, use the current passport details when completing a new appointment unless the official system specifically instructs otherwise.
Do not mix an old passport number with the new passport's expiry date or other information.
If you already have an existing WAFID record connected to an old passport, check the correct procedure before creating another registration. This is especially important because the system is designed to maintain candidate records and prevent duplicate registrations.
Do not ignore a mistake.
If you notice an error before completing the booking, correct it before submission.
If the appointment has already been generated, the appropriate solution depends on the type of error and the current WAFID procedure.
Do not assume that a medical centre can simply change the passport information at the counter.
For an existing booking, contact the appropriate support channel and keep a copy of the passport and appointment information ready.
Before pressing submit, compare:
- Full name
- Passport number
- Date of birth
- Nationality
- Passport issue date
- Passport expiry date
- Passport issue place
Then check your destination country and visa information separately.
A WAFID medical appointment may be completed at an approved medical centre, but the booking starts with accurate applicant information.
Checking your passport before booking is much easier than trying to correct an error after an appointment has been generated.
Always use your current passport as the primary reference when completing the WAFID form and follow the latest instructions shown on the official portal.
